Mr Beast improved alot since the hikaru streams... I wish we had this kind of chess community in the Philippines the right amount of gate keeping in ben finegold and the right amount of community support from the GM and the IM like hikaru and levy.
Is he even gatekeeping? Im so confused cuz it seems like the hes just joking around, according to the people who watch his streams. And i have to somewhat agree because he once said, if youre a normal person like magnus carlsen, and we all know thats an incredibly high bar
He also premoved Rxf1+ after playing Rg1+ because he knew the reply was forced. I think we are looking at a Semi Final 4 of MoistCritikal or Ludwig (their group match is going to be crucial), Sardoche, XQC and Raiin Wilson (his second game against Michele Khare was most obvious throw ever)
He's striking while the iron is hot... Pogchamps tournament exposes a lot of new people into chess, and many stick around and watch other funny videos which addicts some of the players who played in childhood only like me and then after playing a few games of online chess, next thing you know, you are singing Baka mitai and replying "Google en passant" and "Holy hell" in r/AnarchyChess - true story btw :P
I think the biggest thing is that a more experienced player might have been able to stabilize better after making a mistake. I honestly expected him to play a lot worse against Ludwig after seeing his session with Hikaru. He clearly practiced a lot since then.
@@timseguine2 i dont think its all practice I think he was already not as bad as he played hikaru but he played that bad cuz he was too scared hikaru was setting traps everywhere
Mr Beast was dreadful against Hikaru and he's still pretty bad here. He straight up blundered his queen in one move. The fact he got in good positions to begin with shows how powerful opening prep can be for weak players.
@@kevinkk8451 don't worry, English is my 3rd language so I also make mistakes. That's just a typo, you can't predict how to spell someone's surname in English
I was heartbroken to see MrBeast lose, his openings were phenomenal! His time management was his biggest problem it seemed, he ended up having to rush a lot
Bruh you inspired me talking about the Scandinavian earlier and I used it to beat an elo 1526 cpu no help no cheats. Did take a break in between though. It was the first time I ever felt on fire to play a game of chess. Anyways thanks I'm learning so much from you guys. I'm like a little sponge. Lol.
No Grünfeld, no Nimzowitsch, No Kalashnikov Sicilian... It's so refreshing and educational to have openings a low elo player can play without remembering like 20 moves of theroy. Keep it up. These are all amazing.
I'm afraid of him being nervous because often times he gets tunnel vision because of it. Overall he's a great chess player. I hope he wins the whole thing.
I agree. I honestly didn't realize ludwig had improved this much. He is getting good at tactics and thinking multiple moves ahead and noticing threats before they are there. He just needs to work on his positional game and i think he can win the whole thing.
@@dot4149 yeah for sure. Hopefully he will give rainn a good run for his money. Cant see many people standing up to him at the moment. But luds a dark horse for sure, especially if he gets some opening coaching. Excited to see!
Fun fact about Bd6: Ludwig blundered the move initially, then immediately realized that he could target g2, and then for some reason he thought it didn't work.
@@JarvidO doesn't matter if he's getting burnt out - he's loving it, chess is life for this guy. When you love what you do it feels good to go to bed exhausted~
Everyone who is hating on pog champs or that levy is reviewing them watch this one it is the perfect example of solid well playied chess but also small mistacks or other leasons that can be learned for the 80% of use under 2000 and essentially for those under 900 that can understand these strategies better compared to a complex 8 move chain from a super gm
MrBeast had a great position during the middle game but made a few decisive moves that took the pressure off of ludwigs castled king. Very well played by both sides though throughout all games.
Big fan from Chile here, I've learn so much from your videos that now I listen your voice in my head during my games saying "danger levels!" or "cut the king off!", so really, many thanks for all your work and effort, it's really apreciated. ¡Sigue así!
Keep it strong Levy! I love ALL your content, recaps, subscriber videos, lessons and more! You’re so good at commentating and I just want to say that everyone is enjoying chess more because of you. Thank you.
Levy has been so amazing. He has been working so hard to just get these videos out so that the subscribers learn something new from these videos everyday. Kudos to you man.
You know why I love these videos? These aren’t GMs. There people ranked around the majority of players, still having beautiful games. And they make sense to 1000 ranked players too. Not all this weird positional shut in games between gms, but sting attacks and brilliant defences. Keep up the good content Gotham, and long live PogChamps!
No surprises, but watching amateur players is far more interesting than pros sometimes. More learning opportunities in the review and more exciting when they play well or blunder.
Hi levy, I know you already know this but I wanted to say that I love these recaps. I know some people are used to the “high-level” chess recaps but I find these very interesting and informative as an intermediate player. Keep up the great work :)
It's especially amazing that these games are so high class from time to time once u consider that they are extremely nervous from all the people watching
One thing I'm doing that has quite helped me is neutralizing the Knights if they come out early, then trade bishops and be up the exchange, creating piece imbalance is a huge advantage, then just play a solid attack. Also trade queens if the position looks better for me
Day 45: Of requesting Levy to cover opposite coloured bishop endgames. Especially when you have a slight material advantage of being up by two or three pawns against your opponent and you both have opposite coloured bishops as well.
0:54 "Ludwig said afterwards, 'Nobody plays this.' " Bruh, that's the main line lmao. I really wish this was a video back when I was starting to really learn Chess. This video taught me more about the Scandinavian than all the videos I watched for years lol.
to your question about ludwigs bishop move, it was a bit of both, he moved it... then saw he blundered the pawn, then realized it activated his rook and was okay with it, so when he originally played it, he had no idea, but he did see the upsides before the next move
When I found this in my recommended for the millionth time I actually got hyped because I thought he might cover it from pogchamps 4, and those matches were amazing
I enjoy these recaps as much as the GM recaps. GM recaps teach me to apreciate insanely accurate play, eventhough it's way way above my rating level. These POG champs recaps are more my level, so I identify with these players and it's almost like Levy is recapping my games. Very instructive and a lot of fun.
it's always very comforting to watch mr.Beast games. I started playing chess at age 28 and the lowest elo I've ever got was 950. Jimmy always find something to give people
Nah man he is riding the wave of popularity and growth. If he's having fun and doesn't feel burnt he can keep going. As long as he doesnt feel like quality isn't down and he still enjoys it he can make as much content as he wants (no pressure either way tho)
@@Subpar1224 yeah, he's just trying to capitalize on Pogchamps timing. Hope he gets a wave of subscribers on YT & twitch and chess community a lot of fresh new players who haven't played chess since childhood this week.
“Beautiful accidents happen, just look at me.” Lmao I could tell that joke was totally off the cuff. Love the recaps, I don’t have the time to tune in to the live broadcast.
Amazing how Levy is (still) getting better and better with this kind of videos. Expertly explained, masterfully synthetized. Very well done! And I dont understand how and why my first impression of Levy was a bit bad; I feel a bit dumb about that.

"Ludwig strikes with c4" I never knew chess could be so violent
Chess is among the most violent games, you go ti war with an army knowing that you'll sacrifice half of it to force the opponent to surrender
That should've blown the king to peices immediately, easy dub
c4 is what?
Explosive
Levy 100% gets some inspiration from sports commentators and I love it. It makes things so much more entertaining.
Welcome to chess
"beautiful accidents happen hey look at me" gotta love Levy
Such a great line, and he practically threw it away
Happy little*
Lmao i was about to comment that but you got it first
That come outta nowhere lmaooo
@@rafibenjamin4584 It was even more beautiful because he threw it away like that!
I can not be the only one who is already addicted to these recaps
No. I am the same

The recaps are pretty great
Don't stop levy!
This is like my espn
When your coach keeps giving high praises to the guy that kicked your ass.
Ludwig did play out of the mind brilliantly though.
His game was such a beauty in terms of tactics
Eh, rather this than roasts. Rather lose to a good player than to be worse than a bad one 😂
Mr Beast improved alot since the hikaru streams...
I wish we had this kind of chess community in the Philippines

@@allahm-ast3mnlywlatstbdlny164 yes indeed
And Michelle khare
7:44 interesting thing to point out, after moving to Qg5 Ludwig instantly premoved Qxe3 and Qxa7. He was really ready haha
He was in the zone lol
He also premoved Rxf1+ after playing Rg1+ because he knew the reply was forced. I think we are looking at a Semi Final 4 of MoistCritikal or Ludwig (their group match is going to be crucial), Sardoche, XQC and Raiin Wilson (his second game against Michele Khare was most obvious throw ever)

Not really that dark

Just look at me*
It's not dark tho

not just daily pogchamps reviews, but on top of that other types of videos and funny content

Ludwig totally blundered that pawn, it took him about a minute and a half to realize and when he did he just shrugged and said "Eh, whatever."
Mr. Beast played surprisingly well, I think one bad move and the rest was just insane, especially for a new player
He improved so much from last time when he played against hikaru. that one was just painful and now jimmy's doing really well
I think the biggest thing is that a more experienced player might have been able to stabilize better after making a mistake. I honestly expected him to play a lot worse against Ludwig after seeing his session with Hikaru. He clearly practiced a lot since then.

He will likely do pretty well in the test of the tournament. The group setup makes it so that they get the hardest matchups first.

I trapped someone’s queen in move 9 when the opponent used the scandi, watch out for that
Great progress bro!

No Grünfeld, no Nimzowitsch, No Kalashnikov Sicilian... It's so refreshing and educational to have openings a low elo player can play without remembering like 20 moves of theroy. Keep it up. These are all amazing.
Genuinely impressed at how much better Ludwig has gotten since last time
I agree. He can win the entire thing if he practiced his openings and positional game. His tactics are on point.
I'm afraid of him being nervous because often times he gets tunnel vision because of it. Overall he's a great chess player. I hope he wins the whole thing.
You’ve been a great coach! Ludwig played really well under the pressure, otherwise beast would’ve had him

Beast vs Ludwig match was intense
Fun fact about Bd6: Ludwig blundered the move initially, then immediately realized that he could target g2, and then for some reason he thought it didn't work.
I think Levy needs a break he’s posting so much good content and i feel like he’s getting burnt out
His channel blew up. It's exciting and he earned it. Let him have fun and rest when he wants. No pressure either way.

I appreciate the effort you put into these recaps. These are exciting times for chess!
Lud was premoving the first game too. It was insane to watch live.
And here I thought Mr Beast was gonna pay Ludwig to throw the second match for content :)
MrBeast had a great position during the middle game but made a few decisive moves that took the pressure off of ludwigs castled king. Very well played by both sides though throughout all games.
Cudos to Mr.Beast for being such a great attacker at 700 rating against almost double rated player.

That was one of the best series yet! Mr. MrBeast does great prep. Ludwigs grind over these last several months is really paying off. Love PogChamps!
also the fact that in both games ludwigs last few moves were all premoves, pretty crazy how much he's improved
A video on the Grand Prix attack against the Sicilian would be awesome. Keep up the great work Levy
Guys it's official.levy doesn't sleep
Two of the best games so far. Ludwig's play was impressive for sure, but Mr Beast could still be a threat.
When I found this in my recommended for the millionth time I actually got hyped because I thought he might cover it from pogchamps 4, and those matches were amazing
I always learn from your analysis. It's not just "This move is good and that move is bad", it's why this move is bad and this is good.

"Ludwig strikes with c4"... It is so violent
lud is actually insane when he plays seriously
I like these recaps, I learn more from these because they're more about tactics than opening theory
Ludwig plays Grunfeld:
Levy: Big inaccuracy
the Mr. Beast and Ludwig games were so good. I was so impressed with both of them.
"beautiful accidents happen, just look at me"
- Sun tzupapa
Ludwig just wanted to break the center the whole 2nd game he purposely let the bishop take
I double-checked the VOD, Ludwig didn't intentionally sacrifice his G pawn in game 2, it was just a happy accident
Mr beast in pogchamp 4 will be scary. He’s already good at openings can’t wait to see him progress in his endgame plays.
Nah, Ludwig's best move was playing the chess meme song Baka Mitai while playing the games.
Every time I watch your videos, I go on chess.com and quit after losing all my pieces.
Your excitement in these videos is infectious. I would love to have you gush over moves I make someday
I hate how my brain does not comprehend flipped boards
The whole match and the banter were amazing.
